This article discusses the Utah state court case Lanner v. Wimmer of 1978 in a historical context. Ronald Lanner, plaintiff, petitioned the ACLU to sue Logan, Utah public schools for their giving of release time to students who attend religion education classes provided by the LDS Church, stating that it violated the first amendment. The history of such release-time programs, known as seminary, are discussed, including the decisions in U.S. Supreme Court cases McCollum v. Board of Education and Zorach v. Clauson.
